Didn't the Bills famously lose every preseason game during the era when they went to four straight Super Bowls? It's hard for fans to understand but sometimes the teams are not trying to win, they are looking at specific players in certain live situations and trying to decide who to keep.
Gibbs Redskins went 0-4 in preseason and won the sb

Just got through that part of the book. They actually lost one game. Reeves was pissed that Jimmy got the Cowboys job instead of himself and played Elway the entire game. Elway threw a last minute TD to send it to OT and then Denver won in OT

thanks...I remember Jimmy pumping his fist in the air while running towards the tunnel when the last exhibition game ended.

i was with Reeves at that time. I loved the 1-15 season.

The random nfl talk thread became about rocking chairs for old men and country time lemonade so we can relive Cowboys glory ne’er to be seen again.

to me the 1-15 gave it away.
Dont know of any other HOF coach with a 1st season at 1-15.

Side note.
I made one bet on my Cowboys that year.
Yep the game against the Redskins at night. :suds:

Why would the Vikings want Tiny Hands? Nick Mullens is our backup and he's as mediocre or better than Kenny.
Yeah after watching Pickett that dude is not good at all. I can’t believe he was a first round draft pick. That arm is weak as shit.

Additionally, this should be a blessing in disguise for the Vikings. They weren’t winning shit this year anyway. They can now grab a top 5 draft pick.

I dunno man, we need a desperate team and the Vikings seem most desperate. But I agree Mullens is probably better than Pickett or at least equally bad. Raiders? Help me out here.

I think you'd need an injury in practice to a team's starter or backup. If he can't beat out McKee for a backup spot, I don't know how much longer he has in the league.

I would think if anything, the Vikes would wait until Heineke get's cut and sign him as a back-up/ depth piece. He ain't much but definitely a better option than Pickett and probably better than Mullens too.

AHole coach, insecure and typical overly coddled athlete, or both? I'm going with both

I don’t see Tua as “overly coddled” - I mean he played for Nick Saban, Saban isn’t one to “coddle” players. Flores just sounds like a total jackass, and I know Tua isn’t the only one to say negative things about him - several guys on the Dolphins had major issues with Flores.

Yeah, this is a huge red flag on Flores, IMO. The truth is that almost every coach in the Belichick tree is trailed by claims that they are shitbag human beings who beat people down instead of building them up. It's not worked for anyone either. Vrabel is the only successful coach and it sounds like he is much more of a players' coach than the others.
